Ah, Rosemarie and I at her prom back in the ‘60s…and here we are after 49 years of blistering, ah blissful marriage.

Here’s son, Jeff, with a tarpon he caught in the canal that runs along the back of our house. He’s good at that.

…and on the right is daughter Lee Ann with her catch, Bob.

And below are all the grandkids. Okay, pay attention: Haley is Jeff’s daughter. Bridegette, Lindsay and Samantha are the daughters of Lee Ann and her late husband, Danny; Grace is Bob’s daughter by a previous marriage; and Shelby and Marc (my namesake) are the children of Lee Ann and Bob. Got all that?

Bridgette,

Haley

& Lindsay

Can‘t forget the family beasts! They both have penetrating personalities: his bite and her claws.
